The water cut will not only affect Mumbai but also the Thane Municipal Corporation and Bhiwandi Nizampura Municipal Corporation. As of May 25, the dams supplying water to Mumbai held 1,40,202 million liters, which is only 9.69% of the annual requirement of 14,47,363 million liters.,
Mumbai civic chief Bhushan Gagrani had earlier assured that the city's water stock could last until July 31. The BMC is closely monitoring water levels and managing the daily supply to maximize the current reserves.,
The administration has urged citizens to use water judiciously, recommending measures such as washing clothes in machines and avoiding showers. Restaurants are advised to serve water only upon request.,
The fall in water stock is partly due to lower-than-expected rainfall in October 2023, resulting in 5.64% less stock compared to previous years. Additional water will be sourced from the Bhatsa and Upper Vaitarna dams to maintain supply.,
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted an on-schedule monsoon this year. Southwest monsoon has already arrived in the Andaman Islands and will reach Kerala by May 31. Mumbaikars can expect the monsoons to arrive between June 10 and 11.
